ABOUT DYNAMITE.
How the Dangerous and Powerful ExplO-
 siYe Is Manufactured.

siye Is Manufactured.
 Few people know what dynamite is, though the word is in common use. It is a giant gun-powder, that is, an eX- plosive material varying in strength and safety of handling according to the percentage of nitro-glycerine it con- tains. Nitro -glycerine, whence it derives its strength, is composed of ordinary glycerine and nitric acid, com pounded together in certain propor- tions and at certain temperature. Nitro-glycerine, though not the strong est explosive known, being exceeded in power by nitrogen and other products of chemistry, is thus far the most ter rible explosive manufactured to any ex- tent. Nitro-glycerine itself is not safe to handle, hence dynamite is preferred. It is extensively made and consumed in the United States under the various names of Giant, Hercules, Jupiter and Atlas powders, all of which contain any where from twenty to eighty per cent. of nitro-glycerine, the residue of the compound being made up of rotten stone, non-explosive earth, saw dust, charcoal, plaster ofparis, black powder or some other substance that takes up the glycerine and makes a porous, spongy mass. Nitro-glycerine was dis covered by Salvero, an Italian chemist, in 1S45. Dynamite is prepared by simply kneeding with the naked hands twenty-five per cent. of infusorial earth and seventy-five of nitro-glycerine until the mixture assumes putty con dition not unlike moist brown sugar. Before mixing, the infusorial earth is calcined in a furnace, in order to burn out all organic matter, and it is also sifted to free it of large grains. While still moist it is squeezed into cartridges, which are prepared of parchment paper, and the firing is done by illuminate of silver in copper capsules provided with patent exploders. Nitro-glycerine is made of nitric acid one part and sul- phuric acid two parts, to which is add ed ordinary glycerine, and the mixture is well washed with pure water.
 The infusion is composed of small microscopic silicious shells which have lost their living creatures. The cellu- lar parts receive the nitro-glycerine and hold it by capillary attraction, both in- side and out. The earth is very light. Water is expelled from it by means of furnace and then, in the form of pow AT Nitro-glycerine has a sweet, aromatic, pungent taste, and the peculiar proper ty of causing a violent headache when placedin small quantity on the tongue or wrist. It freezes at forty degrees Fah- renheit, becoming a white, half crystal ized mass, which must be melted by the application of water at a tempera- ture about one hundred degrees Fah- renheit. ARdlySt

ancient powder-horn, still preserved in the family with religious zeal, upon whose creamy yellow surface Samuel Ellithorpe has left an accurate and care ful sketch of the position of Washing tons forces in October, 1775, not long before the British evacuated Boston. The horn is one of the largest ever seen, being not less than foot and a half long with the graceful spiral curv- ature and taper that belonged to the ap- pendages of our native cattle. The space occupied by the sketch of the relative positions of the two armies covers nearly half square foot, and the sketch itself is very full and exact The batteries and earth-works of the Continentals are outlined with exceed ing distinctness; the barn-like and un- comfortable barracks are delineated in the background, while the front bristles with menacing artillery. Beyond lies Boston, whose steep roofs and ancient gables seem to sleep in the sunshine of October-with lucidity of definition softened and obscured by October hazes. In the harbor lie men-of-war of the old pattern, with tier upon tier of guns peeping from open portholes. Rude as its method is, the sketch is a correct and spirited one, and one of no small his torical value. The horn bears the legend: Samuel Ellithorpe His Horn," and is dated October, 1775. It will be added to the collection of the Athen@- um, Hartford, on the demise of the present holder.
 The old teapot whence Putnam took his tea on his way to Bunker Hill is the last survivor of its set. Its attested an tiquity is nearly two hundred and fifty years, and, though slightly damaged, it has been pronounced by ceramic ex- perts a most beautiful specimen of its kind. The graceful, old-fashioned man. of-war shape. with the projecting ledge that maintains the cover in place; the lucidity, delicacy and beauty of the blue, and the pale, pearly translucence of the white rank the piece as relic of no ordinary attraction. The design is that of shepherd seated under a very gnarled old trunk, fondling a wounded lamb. Blue lambs, blue shepherds and trees of that cerulean tint are not very common, to be sure, in real life; but in ceramics they seem to answer very well; and somehow the sense of propriety is not thereby outraged. This historical relic, as companion piece to the other, will also probably find its way ultimate ly into the Athen@um collection, which is peculiarly well stocked with antiqui- ties. The original sign of the inn kept by General Putnam, with the famous General Wolfe firing a pistol in the foreground, figures among the relics of the revolution. The portrait is rude, but spirited. It is appropriate, there fore, that the teapot whence Putnam was served on his way to Bunker Hill should join its fellow-relics of the col lection.-N !. Times.

SNOW IN CITIES.
The System of Snow-Melting Devised by a
 London Engineer.

London Engineer.
 When it is considered that a fall of snow inches deep over 1 mile of road 60 feet wide amounts to 5,S66 cubic yards the impossibility of removing it promptly by means of horses and carts is at once apparent. The more so when it is remembered that some metropolitan vestries have from 50 to 100 miles of road, and thus have to deal with from 300,0O0 to 600,000 cubic yards of snow, assuming a inch fall to occur. The principle of MT. Lyon's invention is that the snow can be dealt with in the roads on which it falls when it is in light and feecy condi- ton, and therefore easily melted. The apparatus consists of wrought-iron tube about 35 feet long, having a fur mace at one end and a short length of vertical pipe for chimney at the other. The tube is made in lengths of feet and each length is tapered so that they all fit into each other and are closely packed for transport on wheels. When fall of snow occurs the apparatus is to be laid along the gutters of the roads to be cleared, the width occupied being about four feet. A fire is then to be lighted in the furnace, the heat from which will pass along the horizontal tube, which has fiatly arched top. The snow is then to be shoveled on to the heated tube, which will melt it, the re- sulting water flowing away to the near est gully. A trial of this apparatus took place in the St Marylebone dis trict on some snow which had fallen long previously and had been twice carted. Notwithstanding the solidifed condition of the snow and the imper- feet condition of the experimental ap- paratus, it is stated that twenty-one yards Of the consolidated snow, weigh ing 10 tons. cwt., qrs., equal to 19S yards of freshly fallen snow, were melt ed in ten hours, with consumption of coke of the value of 1 shilling pence, or under II pence per ton,-L0naOn Tunes,

How much more revolting to be in one's self a liying SeDer. But this is actually the case with those in whom the inactivity of the liver drives the refuse matter of the body to escape through the lungs, breath, the pores, kidneys and bladder. It is astonish- ing that life remains in such a dwelling. Dr. Pierce's "Golden Medical Discovery'' restores normal purity to the system and renews the whole being.

A clerk in a lawyers office on the sixth floor of Chicago building laid an important paper on the window sill and the wind took it out of the open window. He watched it to see where it would fall. It fiutteTed along the front of the building, turned sharply to the right, sailed up in the air, turned again, repeated this, and then came directly back to the building it had left, poised far above the clerks head. then f1uttered downward and stopped long enough in front of the window for him to seize it. At no time during its marvellous flight was the paper less than seventy-five feet above the street --ChlcGgO Herdld.

-Tbe Utica Observer and Alban

The Utica ObserUer and Albany Journal are bragging about their aged compositors. The oldest type-setter on the OJSeruer has worked on the case forty-nine years, and for thirty years in the ObSerrer office. Two others have been sticking type thirty-six and thirty two years, and two others have been in the ObSerUer office twenty-siX and twen- ty-fow years. The Journal says it can beat that easily. Its oldest compositor has been at the case fifty-nine years, and for forty years on the Journal. An other has been on the Journal since 184O, and for a quarter of a century was foreman of the composing-room; his brother has been steadily employed on the Journal for thirty-five years, and fourth has had thirty-twO years service in the same ofice,-M '.

fhilanthropfc Aims of Female Society
 Reeently Established in New York. >--At a dinner recently given in Fifth avenue a lady wore on her corsage a small Maltese cross of silver attached to bit of purple ribbon. The gentle man sitting next to her asked what was the meaning of the badge. She an- swercd: 1t means that 1 am the daughter of a King"
 ''The daughter of King?" repeated the young man.
 "Yes, the lady replied. T belong to an order of Christian women called The Kings Daughters, and the cross and ribbon is our badge. On this side the cross are the letters l. H. N, meaning In His Name and on the other is the year of the formation of the order, 1SS6."
 This modest sisterhood numbers among its members hundreds of the prominent society girls of New York city. It is almost without organization, and in one sense almost without a definite purpose, "and yet" said a lady in speaking of it, ''in real truth it has underlying its name and motto the most far reaching, wide-sweeping of all purposes, and in its results is the most truly beneficent of any society of the day"
 The organization is the outgrowth of the drawing-room Bible readings of Mrs. F. Bottome. They laid down no rules or regulations for their work. They specified no particular line of work, but comprehended their whole desire and all possible future service in their notices:
